Transitioning From Indoor to Outdoor Potty Training

January 30, 2023December 6, 2022 - by Sergio Torian

Many people use an indoor potty for their dogs for some period of time. Testament to this is the fact that the pet products market is now flush with many varieties of indoor dog potties to choose from. To name just a few: Simple Solution Jump Start Pads, Patio Park, Porch Potty, Penthouse Dog Potty, PetaPotty, WizDog, Pet Zoom Pet Park, Ugo Dog, Potty Patch, Pup Head, Pee Wee Portable Potty, and Pet Loo.

Some of these products are developed for people who want a dog who is permanently taught to eliminate in a designated spot indoors. But, the vast majority of people use an indoor potty for just a couple of months or so, until a young pup has developed the requisite bladder and bowel muscle control to ‘hold it’ for periods of time in between walks. Before that, a long term confinement area, such as a bathroom that is gated off or an exercise pen can be used when you need to leave your pup for longer than you know he or she can ‘hold it’ in their crate. In this enclosure the pup has access to an indoor potty area.

Most people faced with the task of transitioning from indoor to outdoor potty training are those with puppies. In this case, the goal is usually to have the pup go from using the temporary indoor potty spot to eliminating exclusively outside. However, we certainly do hear from people who are faced with a more daunting challenge; Teaching …

Precast Concrete Construction

January 30, 2023December 6, 2022 - by Sergio Torian

In the mid-nineties, I was heading a civil style and design department for a large EPC contractor in South East Asia. We experienced acquired an buy to construct a paper plant.

The main constructing in a paper plant is the paper equipment creating. A common paper equipment constructing is about 300 m prolonged. The creating ordinarily has two floors, a single at ground degree, and one at about 7.5 m degree. The paper device is put in on a foundation that is not linked to the developing. The machine is available from the device corridor at 7.50 m stage. This building homes other intricate and heavy equipment and has extremely stringent requirements with regard to high quality, structural style and security. The roof is superior up and some of the sections of this setting up are topic to temperatures concerning 50 to 60 C. A significant overhead crane straddles the upstairs device hall. The differential settlement in the paper machine basis has to be significantly less than one mm and general settlement at any place less than 1.25 mm. This creating, with all its elements and the devices foundations, typically can take 18 months to develop.

Our handling director was an ground breaking guy and constantly sought concepts to speed up building. A single day, he named me to his office and confirmed me an posting narrating about a corporation in the US that experienced made methods to construct a paper machine creating making use of pre cast features.

Indoor Furniture, Outdoor Furniture – What’s the Difference?

January 29, 2023December 6, 2022 - by Sergio Torian

In the world of furniture manufacturing, there are companies that specialize in indoor furniture, outdoor furniture and between the two there is a limited amount of crossover. Outdoor furniture is built differently than the indoor variety, and while you can always use outdoor furniture inside, the opposite is not always the case. If you are debating moving some furniture for outside for a party or a much longer period of time, know what should and shouldn’t be used, and what can be made over to better handle the elements.

Be a material girl:
You don’t have to be Madonna to figure out that some materials are better suited for the outdoors than others, depending on type of furniture. Outdoor materials need to be sturdy enough to withstand variant temperatures, a certain amount of moisture from rain, dew, etc. and humidity.

Common sense dictates that there are certain materials that should never be taken outside, unless you’re absolutely sure that the weather will be perfect. For instance, carpeting is a disaster when it gets wet. It takes forever to dry, and can mold, and it also gets really stiff when it’s cold. That’s why rugs not meant for the outside should stay inside. Likewise, materials like suede, fleece, and dry-only materials should also not be taken outside. Companies manufacture cushion and deep seating fabrics that mimic the feel of more luxurious materials, but are fully waterproof.

Then there are certain pieces that can go outdoors for limited periods of time before …

Astrology – The Derivative House System – Another Layer of Reading

January 27, 2023December 6, 2022 - by Sergio Torian

The field of astrology is huge with so many possibilities. In order to study it in a manageable proportion, we must look at it segment by segment. Once we have two astrological segments under reasonable control we can then merge them to develop a comprehensible narrative. Once we have studied an additional segment, we use the same merging process to enlarge our information while keeping it cohesive. We study segment by segment, adding to our previously storage until we have a whole, usable body of information from which we can draw at any time. This reminds me of the way we learn anything, step-by-step, adding as we go.

In order to individualize that body of astrological information we start with the natal wheel for any birth. We then draw from that information pool at will, weaving together the various segments that are appropriate to that wheel in order to read the life story of that person. In short, we learn the basics of astrology so we can tell the personal story for each individual sky map.

In other articles I have suggested that there are four cornerstones to astrology: planets, signs, houses and aspects. Further, it is my conclusion that the planets are the keystone of the four cornerstones. Each of these four segments should be studied in the early stages of astrology so they may be combined as described to begin the process of a reading. In this article we will look at two of the segments, planets and …

Construction Zone Traffic Law and Ticket Types

January 26, 2023December 6, 2022 - by Sergio Torian

During the summer months, construction zones can make traveling by car a hassle. Not only do construction zones increase your travel time as you have to slow down to pass through them, but it can also create traffic jams in typically un-congested areas.

Despite how inconvenient it may be, traffic construction is necessary to keep the motorways in adequate condition. Although it may be frustrating to travel through construction zones, it is important to follow the traffic laws as it protects other motorists and the construction workers as well.

Distracted Driving Laws

Distracted driving laws vary from state to state, and when traveling through multiple states, it’s important to know and understand the laws in the surrounding states.

One of the biggest distracted driving culprits is cell phone use. In many states, cell phone use is illegal when driving. Even if a state may not prohibit cell phone use in normal areas, construction zones usually have additional restrictions on phone usage to reduce the likelihood of distracted driving.

Construction Zone Tickets

There are multiple types of tickets that you can receive in construction zones, and the most common ticket is a speeding ticket. With the reduction of speed limits for extended lengths of the road – and some areas that are poorly marked – it becomes difficult for you to know where a construction zone begins or ends.

There are two main types of speed limit reductions in construction zones. The first is an actual, photo-enforced speed limit, work zone …

Fascinating Information About Desmans – Feeding Behavior, Nest Development, and Habitat

January 25, 2023December 6, 2022 - by Sergio Torian

A extremely unique way of life is exhibited by the desmans, of which there are two species. The Pyrencan desman Galemys pyrenaicus is confined to everlasting, fast-flowing streams of the Pyrenees mountain array and components of northern Iberia, the Russian desman Desmana moschata is located only in the slower shifting waters and lakes of the western and central Soviet Union Just as moles are fantastically tailored for a fossorial way of daily life, so much too are the desmans for water.

The streamlined entire body of the Pyrenean desman enables it to glide rapidly through the water, propelled by highly effective webbed hindlimbs and steered, to some extent, by a lengthy. broad tail.

For any animal dwelling in the snow-fed mountain streams, feeding and retaining system heat are leading priorities. In contrast to hedgehogs or tenrecs, desmans do not bear intervals of hibernation or torpor and must, for that reason, dwell in the best possible habitats to make sure their survival in the course of the winter season months when prey is most scarce.

What Do Desmans Consume?

Desmans feed on the larvae of aquatic bugs these types of as the stone fly and caddis fly, as perfectly as on smaller crustaceans, which they track down by probing their proboscis-like snouts beneath small rocks and by clearing away particles from the stream mattress with their sharp elongated claws. Prey is consumed at the surface exactly where following just about every dive, a a rigorous physique grooming is carried …
